We process personal data only as far as needed to run this website and the live stream securely and reliably.

1. Server logs

When you visit this website, our server records technical data such as your IP address, the time of the request, the requested page and your browser's user agent. We use this data only for security and stability; the logs are deleted automatically after 14 days.

2. Live stream

When you press play, your browser connects to our streaming server at live.jazzfm.net. To count listeners and keep the stream stable, the server processes your IP address, player name and connection time while you listen. After you disconnect, the IP address is removed; only a pseudonymised record (a one-way hash, country and city, device and player type, listening time) is kept for listener statistics.

3. Album covers and fonts

Album covers are delivered through our own server, and the website uses no external fonts, so your browser does not contact third-party image or font services when you visit this site.

4. Cookies and local storage

This website sets no cookies and uses no analytics or advertising trackers. When you first visit, a notice asks for your choice. With “Necessary only” your browser stores just that choice locally on your device. With “Accept all” it also remembers your player volume. Both settings stay on your device and are never sent to us; you can change your choice any time with “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page, or by clearing your browser’s site data.

5. Song requests

When you send a song request on this website, your browser sends the name, dedication and chosen song directly to our streaming server at live.jazzfm.net. The server also uses your IP address to limit how many requests can be sent in a short time. Your name and dedication may be read on air and are shown on this website while the request waits in the queue; please do not enter personal information you do not want to share publicly.

6. Android app

The link to our Android app leads to Google Play. Google's own privacy terms apply there.

7. Contact form, presenter applications and email

When you use the contact form or apply to become a presenter, we process the details you enter (for example name, email address, location and your message or application) to answer you and, for applications, to decide about a show. The form sends them to our own mail server, which delivers them to [email protected], and a copy is stored on our web server. To stop spam we also store your IP address with the submission and briefly keep a pseudonymised counter of how many forms were sent from it. Stored submissions are deleted automatically after 180 days; emails are deleted when they are no longer needed. The legal basis is your consent and, where you ask us something, the steps needed to answer you (Art. 6(1)(a) and (b) GDPR).

If you email us directly, we use your message and address only to answer your request.

8. Your rights

You may request information about, correction or deletion of your personal data, and you may object to its processing. You can withdraw a consent you have given at any time with effect for the future. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. Contact us at [email protected].
